SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,813, dated November 20, 1883. Application filed March 3. i623. lNo modehl Patented in England November 3, lE82,No. M6

To all whom it nwly concern:

Be it known that l Bonner Henson, a subject oi" the Queen oi Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Gildersoine, in the county of York, 5 Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Metallic and other Wagons, QlQru'hich l have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 5, 46, hearing date November 3, 1882,) oi' which the following is a specification.

My invention rehtes to improvements in metallic and other wagons in which side tipping is an essential feature.

In constructing a tippin i5 vehicle according to my invention, capable of ards. The two last-named trnnnions now become the center of the tilting motion. The said body,haying become in its tilting motion somewhat aoeel erated by the tiincithas reached this position, continues to turn on said lastnanied trunuions until it is in a position for discharging its contents beyond the track either of the rails or road upon whio the Wagon or vehicle for the time maybe stand ing', and in order that the two truunions last rel'erred to may be locked in their respective recesses or bearings in the standards, I use on suitable stop-pieoeswhich I attach to the sides of the body of the wagon or vehicle, while at the same time the body is perfectly at liberty to be moved back to its normal position, will be found convenient, in order to facilitate 6 5 the loading of a wagon or vehicle up to a ceror wood, or a combination thereof, andl pro tain point, or unloading it from or into carts,

rays, or other vehicles, to gently turn the 'eesses. Between these standards is mounted \body into the half-tip position, and on be- 0 the body of the wagon or other vehielepvhieh ing partly loaded, and being nearly on the 7o balance when in thatposition, it may be easily by suitable mechanism provided for the purturned to its vertical position for completing 25 pose. -At each end of the said wagon-body l theloadingthercoflonifdesirednnaybe turned iix tl ree studs or truunions, either in astraight oontrariw ise,and discharge any rema ning porliue or otherwise, so that when the body of tion of its contents on the side of the track. the wagon or vehicle is in its normal position I arrange the bodies of wagons or other vethe axes ithe three studs or trunnions may hieles, whether of wood or metal, or a combio be either in a COllllDOll horizontal plane orbe nation thereof, so that the metallic parts of such bodies,or metallic parts attaolied thereto,

forming portions of the under frame-work thereof, ma form tubes or receptacles or attachments ior b fiers, (in cases where buffers are required.) Nhen elastic buifers of indiarubber or metal are used, they are inserted within tlietubes or receptacles. When wooden buffers are used, the tubes or receptacles einbrace and are securely fixed to the same, thus rendering such wooden buffers less liable to be split up b the eontinuedbutting action of the wagons against each other during'transit, 0 or by the action of hot climates thereon,

' In the accompanying two sheets of drawings like parts are marked with the sainelettended to be conveyed therein. Whenit 1S desired that tipping shall take place, I first 0 release from, the locking mechanism above re ferred tothe loaded body of the wagon or vehicle, whielnbeing nearly in equilibrium, and free to partly rotate on the aforesaid center trnnnion's, is easily tilted over until the two is tilted-fillet is, one ateaoh end of the ters inthe several views {there n such parts wagon or .veliicle take into the correspondappear.

, 5 ingwutside recesses in the'respectiye stand- Figure 1, Sheet'l, is an nd elevation" of a tippingm'agon according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a part view in transverse vertical section on the line A B, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a partial plan, in which is shown the latch G, for locking the body in the vertical position.

The bottom 0 is composed ofa metallic plate or plates, so arranged as to form tubular sills of the under framework. Such tubular sills form receptacles for buffers, hereinabove referred to, and as shown in longitudinal sec tion in detail, Fig. 10, Sheet 2.

M are indie-rubber springs acting on the buffers N N, of wood or metal, or a combina tion thereof. Fig. 11, being also a longitudinal sectional detail, shows a metallic spring,0, acting on the buffers N N in a similar manner as above described Figs. 1 to 9, inclusive, show buffers entirelv of Wood, en'il'iraced and fixed Within the tubular part of the under which is partly in section at a, Fig. 2.

,Upon the plate or plates (3, Figs. 1 and 2, Sheet 1, are fixed the standards I) D, each having three fork-like openings, recesses, or bearings, E, F, and F.

G is the which may either be of wood or metal, or a combination thereof. H II are three studs or truunions, a set being fixed to each end of the body tral fork-like openings, recesses. or bearings, E E, when the bodyis in a vertical attitude, (loaded or not,) as shown in full lines, Fig. 1, in that position by some suitable locking arrangement, such as the latch G, embracing the projecting part i on the under side of body G, the saidlatch Dotted lines J indi in the half-tipped position, as

be released for tipping. cate the body it would appear with the trunnions I or I resting in the fork-like openings or bearings 'or F, according to the side on which tipping is to take place. The said trunnions Ior I, as the case may be, now constitute the cen ter of motion for the remaining portion of the tipping movement, (represented by the dotted lines K.)

L L are the stop-pieces, previously referred to, attached to the sides of the body G. These,

18 completely tipped, take a .1, according to the side on body is tipped, trunnions l and falling over. discharged, the bod may be easily turned back to its normal posilion, and locked therein, as before, for reloadjug. In the transverse vertical section, Fig. 3, the latch G is clearlyshown embracing the e Then the contents are 'tions of the Wagon-bod y,

part G, thus locking the body in its normal position.

It will be obvious that the object of my invention, so far as tilting is concerned, might be attained by fitting studs or trunnions to the standards, and providing at the ends of the body of the Wagon or vehicle three recesses for taking and turning thereon.

ig. 5 is an en elevation of under Work tubular sills being similarly furnished, as may be desired, with of the nu 'ltll reference to Figs. 1 to 11, iiiis case the side platesof the body G are joined to the bottom 0 at 5 and 6.
